You'd have to have something like a stand by mode which would behave the way the Booksense does now and let' you still check the time. There could then be a hard shutdown which would consume less power since it wouldn't have to monitor the time button. Of course, you wouldn't get the time announcement feature in this mode.
That being said, you'd still lose some baterry power just keeping the clock running and of course rechargeable batteries are just going to lose their charge over time anyway. This would be pretty low on my list of priorities for the Booksense, but that's just me. -- Christopher [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: Chantel Cuddemi To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 07, 2010 5:11 PM Subject: Re: [GW-Booksense] Running down the battery How can this be accomplished?
